4.

The last few days have been a rough start to Ivy's fourth year (a future post).
That being said, this is how we spent her big day.

 The Birthday Hat. I LOVE the Birthday Hat. Ivy does not. I laid a heavy guilt trip on her to wear it for a photo. I'm not sure The Birthday Hat will be worn by Ivy in the future.

 All she wanted for her birthday was a Pillow Pet. She has waited for her "Dolphint" since Christmas. Yes, she cried happy tears.

 We drove to Jackson for an impromptu picnic at Detert Park.

 Then stopped in Sutter Creek for Ice Cream.
 The owner plays the raddest tunes on his old piano. The music transports you to the Wild West and you have to watch the door for you feel like Billy the Kid is about to make a grand entrance.

 

Back at home we ate lemon yogurt cake and celebrated with Grandpa Dan and Grandma Sylvia.
